0:06 I don't buy into a 24-hour day. That's
0:08 an archaic time frame. You and I live in
0:10 an age where a 100 years ago, if I
0:11 wanted to get something done, I'd have
0:13 to write it down somewhere, stick a
0:15 stamp on it, or put it on the back of a
0:16 horse a few hundred years ago, and you'd
0:18 get it in a month, and then you'd
0:20 translate to get it back to me in a
0:21 month. Now, I can text you in 3 seconds,
0:22 but we're both going to manage time in
0:24 24 hours. When I was in school, I had to
0:27 go to a library to research something in
0:30 in a thing called an encyclopedia and
0:31 then write it all down, type it on a
0:34 typewriter. If you make one key mistake,
0:36 you got to redo it. Now, I can Google
0:38 it, print it out, and it's done. Yet,
0:40 the same time frames are managed. And
0:42 so, that's insane, right? I can email, I
0:44 can text, I have got all these things on
0:46 my phone. So, we're still operating the
0:48 same time construct people did 50 years
0:51 ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago. That
0:53 is insane. So, I have a huge advantage
0:55 in my life that my days are many days. I
0:57 have three 8 hour days in a day. I get
0:59 21 days in a week. 21 days in a week.
1:01 And so, my first day is 6:00 a.m. to
1:04 noon. It's your expectation of time.
1:06 Here's the thing. When something is
1:07 scarce, it's more valuable. Okay? So,
1:09 that's why a diamond is worth more than
1:10 a piece of paper because it's more
1:13 scarce. When your time becomes more
1:15 scarce, it becomes more valuable and
1:18 other people treat you with more value.
1:19 So, that's one benefit. But my first day
1:21 is 6:00 a.m. to noon. in there. I'm
1:22 trying to get in there the amount of
1:25 productivity, joy, business, fitness,
1:26 whatever it might be that I would get in
1:29 a 24-hour day compressed and manipulated
1:31 that time into to the 8 hour window.
1:33 Why? Because of all the technology at my
1:35 advantage. Now, there may be some days
1:37 that's a Netflix and chill day for me.
1:38 I'm not saying you have to be
1:40 hyperproductive. And so, the second day
1:42 starts at noon. And in that second day,
1:44 I'm trying to get the same amount of
1:46 stuff I would get in 24-hour day in my 6
1:49 to 8 hour window. There's 6 am to noon,
1:51 noon to 6 pm, and 6 pm to midnight. Now,
1:52 I'm going to sleep in there. I'm gonna
1:53 get rest. I'm gonna have laughter. I'm
1:55 gonna have faith. But now, what happens
1:57 is at about noon every day, this thing
2:00 goes off in my head, and I evaluate what
2:01 did I get done? What do I need to double
2:03 my efforts on? What can I celebrate?
2:05 What did I learn? So, when an average
2:06 person does it at the end of their day,
2:08 I'm doing it at noon. And then I'll run
2:10 it again. And so, I'm getting 21 days a
2:12 week. You stack that time frame up over
2:14 a year. when you get 7 days and I'm
2:17 managing time this way. I've compressed
2:19 and bent time, I'm probably going to
2:21 win. You stack that up over a year, 5
2:24 years, 10 years, and all of a sudden
2:25 I've had all these more days. And here's
2:27 the other thing, I just get a longer
2:28 life. I'm getting multiple lives in one
2:31 life simply because I've taken control
2:32 of what time looks like. So, they used
2:34 to be 8 hour days. They're now 6-hour
2:36 days. And so, I've get more done oftent
2:37 times by 10:00 a.m. than most people
2:40 will get done in a 24-hour day. You were
2:41 born to do something great with your
2:43 life. And when you were a little boy or
2:45 a little girl, there was probably one
2:47 person who made you feel that way. And
2:48 you ought to give yourself the gifts
2:49 right now of who is that person. When
2:51 you were a little girl or a little boy,
2:53 they made you feel special. And there's
2:54 probably only one, maybe two. Maybe it
2:56 was your parents or your grandmother, a
2:58 grandfather, a coach, a a religious
3:00 figure. There's someone that was in your
3:02 life and that you felt something about
3:04 you because of the way they looked at
3:06 you or spoke to you. And the amazing
3:09 thing about that is they were right
3:11 about you. They were right. You're
3:13 supposed to do something great with your
3:15 life. And the reason it makes you
3:17 emotional when you think about it now is
3:19 because it's true. And truth vibrates at
3:21 the highest frequency. So if you're
3:23 listening to this or watching, it's like
3:25 have that reminder. Give yourself the
3:27 gift. Honor them with who you become.
3:29 Honor them with the life you build.
3:31 Honor them with the choices you make.
3:34 And take that belief and use it as fuel
3:35 in your life to have some strength and
3:37 confidence to shift other people's
3:39 lives. Listen, there's a pace and a
3:41 rhythm to success. Here's something no
3:42 one talks about when it comes to success
3:44 and being productive. There's a rhythm
3:46 and a cadence to it. It's an invisible
3:48 thing that the people that are winning
3:50 somehow have found themselves. It's hard
3:51 to express, but they found a rhythm and
3:54 a cadence to their life that creates
3:55 momentum in their life. Momentum is a
3:58 major magnifier in life. When you get
4:00 momentum, but there's a rhythm to it.
4:02 And when you sort of aren't disciplined
4:04 with your time and a meeting runs over
4:06 10 minutes or 20 minutes, you are not in
4:08 the rhythm of success. There's a pace.
4:11 It's not hurried or rushed, but it's a
4:13 little quicker than most people know.
4:15 Successful people walk a little faster.
4:17 They're in a little bit more of a hurry.
4:19 They talk a little faster. There's a
4:22 rhythm and a pace and a intensity, a
4:23 passion to the dialogue and the
4:25 conversation. And it's invisible. And
4:27 until you find that, you're not really
4:29 in the rhythm of hyperproductivity or
4:32 bliss or success. When you're around
4:34 people that possess that rhythm, you
4:36 feel it. Too many people schedule 1-hour
4:37 long meetings. If we're going to be
4:38 tactical, most meetings don't need to be
4:40 an hour, but we schedule them an hour
4:41 because everybody's always done that. So
4:43 my team knows, is this a 28 minute
4:46 meeting? Is this a 5minute meeting? Very
4:47 rarely are they hourong meetings cuz
4:49 when you have an hourong meeting now
4:50 you're pacing yourself to fill the hour
4:52 in. But I've only got a 6-hour day here.
4:54 So there's a lot of 28 minute long
4:56 meetings that other people are taking an
4:57 hour to do. We're just that much more
4:59 productive, that much more efficient in
5:01 our time. And so that's how you actually
5:04 get the day done is because this 1 hour
5:05 concept, isn't it? You think, "I'll meet
5:07 you at 9:00. I got 9 to 10 blocked off."
5:09 Well, why? Most meetings don't need to
5:11 be an hour long. Most business meetings
5:12 don't. Most conversations don't. And
5:13 that, by the way, will give me more
5:15 time. Maybe my lunch is now an hour and
5:17 a half with a friend because I've bent a
5:19 manipulated time in my I call them mini
5:22 days. And it's also eventually what I've
5:24 found is, like I said earlier, people
5:26 now respect my time a little bit more.
5:27 You can create your own version of a
5:29 mini day. Maybe you're going to have
5:30 two. Maybe you're going to break your
5:32 day into two. You know, me it was 8
5:33 hours and I've moved it to six and I
5:35 felt no difference. But I love that time
5:37 clock. There's not enough time. Most
5:38 people evaluate their goals like really
5:40 productive people, they'll do it at the
5:41 end of a day. In the middle, maybe the
5:43 end of a month. How did my January go?
5:44 And you know this, most people, it's the
5:46 end of the year. So most people's a
5:48 year. Some will do it a month. Really
5:49 productive people maybe the end of the
5:51 day. I'm doing that three times in a
5:53 24-hour day now. The breakthroughs, the
5:55 learning, the course correction, the
5:57 strategic moves I make that get me back
6:00 on track when I'm off track. And my bad
6:02 days are only 6 hours long. So I that
6:04 gives me permission to shift at noon.
6:06 Okay, this is a new day. I get a doover.
6:07 I get to start again. So it's just a
6:09 matter of using a time construct that
6:12 fits with technology in these times. By
6:13 the way, there are sometimes my friends,
6:14 I need to go deep and we need three or
6:16 four or five hours. But I also I know
6:18 there's a lot of times in life like you
6:19 ever have that friend that doesn't know
6:20 when the text exchanges done. You know
6:22 that person you're like it's over now.
6:24 We're both going to go now text other
6:25 people or do other things. I was in a
6:27 meeting a long time ago with Alex
6:28 Rodriguez and uh I'll never forget he's
6:30 such he's a gracious dude. He's a good
6:31 dude. But our meeting was supposed to
6:34 end at 1:00 in the afternoon. And I
6:36 remember at about uh 12:58 he looked at
6:38 his watch and that gave me a cue and at
6:40 1:00 he just stood up kind of in the
6:42 middle of the meeting and that signified
6:43 the meeting was over. And it wasn't
6:45 rude. His team just knows when the
6:47 meeting time's up, we're done. That's
6:48 how long it is. And setting up those
6:51 kind of disciplines and kind of barriers
6:52 around your life, guard rails around
6:54 your life protects your time. The higher
6:56 you climb, there's all this other
6:58 stimulus happening in your life, right?
7:00 So if you don't create those constructs
7:02 now, when you get to a point where like
7:03 you get the things you want in your
7:05 life, the demands on your energy and
7:08 time only increase. I've watched a lot
7:10 of people climb to a point and when they
7:12 get to that point, they didn't create
7:14 new structures around them to support
7:16 the next level. Every level you climb
7:18 requires a different type of energy and
7:20 structure. And I've watched a lot of
7:22 people get to a place and then they
7:24 can't navigate that next level because
7:26 of the structure, maybe the lack of a
7:28 team around them, quality people,
7:30 management of those things. What most
7:32 people think is, I'm going to produce
7:33 this thing and then when I get there,
7:34 I'll figure it out from there. That
7:36 stagnates your growth. You've got to be
7:39 preparing and expecting that growth and
7:40 creating the structures around you to
